Trying to Convert 29P to 24P

Hello
I recently shot some footage (by error), in the standard 29.97 frame rate. My other cameramen were shooting in 24P. Bad mistake on my part.
I've read where Magic Bullet can actually help create a 24P look to 29P footage, but it all sounds rather complicated. Do you guys know where or how this can be accomplished?
Here's a discussion about that;

Thanx

Hello
After much labor and research, I can finally answer my own question. Some of you may find this information helpful if you're having the same problem, or have just wondered how you might be able to solve this.
There are actually several applications that will convert 29P standard interlaced footage to 24P or at least to a 24 film look (both options). This will help when you're trying to match certain footage to match a 'film look'
No matter what you hear about the new Magic Bullet 2007, they are still testing a component called 'Frames', which may eventually do the job. They do have have other nice plug in filters similar to Nattress that will apply effects, (after the fact).
But to actually get 29P to look like 24P, it seems a stand alone program works best (so far).
And DV Film (easy to use), did the trick for me; http://www.dvfilmstore.com/dvfilm-maker-for-mac.html
It's reasonably priced, renders fast and unlike 'After Effects' or any other complicated stand alone program, it won't tax your brain. So like as the old saying goes, if you want the job done, do it yourself.
Hope this may help some of you
Happy Holidays

  • Convert HD to 24p... or as close as possible?

    I have HD footage that I'd like (and have tried) to convert to "film quality" image. I know there's only so much that can be done, but I'm curious if anyone knows how to best reach this goal through iMovie HD and/or QT Pro. I tried as follows: I exported an iMovie project as QT full quality. Then, I imported it into QT Pro and re-exported from QT Pro with the 24p setting... but it doesn't seem to really have an effect. Any sugggestions? Many thanks!

    you should ask this popular question in the FinalCut section of this forum... FC offers some tools & plug-ins to create a movie-look, which basicly is:
    * progressive/no interlace
    * different field of depth (video is everywhere crystal sharp)/more "blurr"
    * different color rooms...
    for iM, a cosumer product, you need additional tools, as QTpro7 or the JES Deinterlacer to accomplish some of these tasks....

  • "Property value is not valid" when PropertyGridView tries to convert a string to a custom object type.

    Hi,
    I have a problem with an PropertyGrid enum property that uses a type converter.
    In general it works, but when I double clicking or using the scoll wheel,  an error message appears:
    "Property value is not valid"
    Details: "Object of type 'System.String' cannot be converted to type 'myCompany.myProject.CC_myCustomProperty."
    I noticed that the CommitValue method (in PropertyGridView.cs) tries to convert a string value to a CC_myCustomProperty object.
    Here is the code that causes the error (see line 33):
    (Using the .net symbols from the PropertyGridView.cs file)

    I'm stuck.
    I was wondering is there a way to work around this? Maybe extend the string converter class to accept this?

  • Error when trying to convert excel files to pdf

    I'm getting the following error when trying to convert .xls and .xlsx files to pdf, using the "Create PDF" option:
    Error message from the primary converter:
    ALC-PDG-010-012-PDFMaker reported an error while printing the document.
    Word, Powerpoint and Text files convert without any issues. Also I'm able to opent the excel files and convert them to pdf using the acrobat option in excel.

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    It is always difficult when you need to convert multiple xls files to pdf or multiple sheets to pdf. If you have a single file to convert then the best method would be to copy your data to doc file and then convert it into PDF . If you have multiple files to convert then it is really difficult to convert all the files manually. Then the better method would be to use converter tool to convert excel to pdf . By doing this you can convert many files in just few seconds.

    Im trying to convert a PDF into an excel document and I keep getting an error message that reads "An error has occurred while trying to access the service". WHat am I doing wrong?

    it seems my subscription had expired so I signed up again.. It was still having trouble so I repeated the sign up process again.. Then it worked perfectly.. Unfortunately, I think I just subscribed twice and need to cancel one of them. Ugh. Such a pain when I'm trying to get this project completed. I'll be canceling at least one of the subscriptions in the morning. Adobe is not my favorite company right now. None of this was intuitive. And trying to get help was an absolute waste of an hour.

    If you have the original movie files, you'd be much better converting those, otherwise try MPEGstreamclip.

  • Trying to convert word to pdf and getting error message using Ver. 7

    I what sent a word doc by a correspondent of mine which I tried to convert to a pdf. I right clicked the doc on my desk top and chose "convert to PDF". It looked as it has all the other times but after it had opened word it came up with an error window/message of "Missing PDFmaker files." "Do you want to run the installer in repair mode?" and then a yes or no button. If I hit no it closes everything if I hit yes it acts like it's installing something and after a while it tells me that the computer needs to be restarted for changes to take affect. I have run it twice now and it doesn't change anything.
    can someone give me any tips on this?

    You did not indicate the version of WORD. If it is WORD 2007, then you can not do this function with AA7. Try opening the file in WORD and printing to the Adobe PDF printer. If that works, then look for the PDF Maker options in WORD (create PDF). If you find them, then try that. If they do not show but the print worked, then you indeed have an issue with PDF Maker - probably either the macro is not activated in WORD or the version of WORD is 2007.
